Public Nudity Legal Beach or Nudist Resort?

Disclaimer: The following are my personal views, and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Su Casa, or any of it's officers.
  As a real and second life practicing nudist, I have been ask a number of times which I prefer a public nudity legal beach, or nudist resort. While there are pros and cons to each, my personal preference is a nudist resort over a public nudity legal beach.
  The pros to a nudity legal public beach is the fact are they are public, most are located on national, state, or county lands, for those that do not want to make a large investment money wise this is ideal. From what I know most are free, or have a nominal fee to enter. I understand by talking to different people most are also patrolled by law enforcement officials to keep a safe environment for uses.
  The cons are by their very name they are public, and public is the key word. The fact that they are on public land takes away the ability to say who comes and who goes. I have in the past visited Mazo Beach in Wisconsin, while on vacation, and it is well known that voyeurs will stroll through peeking at the bare butts on the beach, they pay taxes and it's public land. There also has been, especially with the popularity now of smart phones, incidents of unwanted voyeur type photos, and videos being taken.
  The pros to a resort setting are, they are either privately, or coop owned, and have the right to pick and choose who is, and who isn't admitted to the grounds. Resorts are a much more social setting, as it is usually the same people week in and week out that visit, and most offer events,and amenities such as pot luck dinners, playgrounds for the children, some even offer year around residency etc. The one big rule always is NO CAMERAS on the grounds. My home resort, if you must use a smart phone, will provide you with a non-smear adhesive strip to place over the camera lens, especially for first time visitors.
  The cons are resorts tend to be pricy, with season long memberships in the hundreds of dollars, and non- member day ground fees of over $30 per couple or single. Many resorts require a AANR, or Naturist Society membership to go along with it's own fees. For the peace of mind a resort brings, that is my preference. By going that route I know, anyone on the grounds has been, at least somewhat, checked out before being admitted. Also, that myself, or any of my family will not end up in the nude on a voyeur website. See the video capture below taken without permission, or knowledge and posted on Dailymotion as “Nude Beach Voyeur” , it's all over the net. You know the rule on the Internet once it's up there it isn't going away.

Topfree Rights For Women

You that know me know my feelings on this. Just check YouTube, among others, and tell me what is more obscene , a women's bare breast, or drug lords beheading enemies with a chainsaw? Both are posted there, and both are considered adult restricted. Topfree rights for women time has come.

The Hi-jacking of Social Nudism (a personal rant and rave)

Disclaimer: The following are my personal opinions, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Su Casa, or any of it's officers:
As a practicing social nudist in both second and real life, one of my big concerns is the hi-jacking of the clothing free, or optional lifestyle. We know in Second Life all you have to do it type in the search  terms, nudism, nudists, nude beach, or clothing optional and see what comes up.
With the exception of a very few, and I may be prejudice here, you get the trash of Second Life. The exceptions are Su Casa, followed closely by Naked Dreams. There are a few borderline that I will not name, but even some of these have a shady side. It seems the TOS are ignored and these places to continue on as Mature, not Adult rated sims.
For those of you not familiar with the naturist lifestyle in real life, it is the same in real life.  Social nudity as a clean, wholesome, family oriented lifestyle has been hi-jacked. While I am sure there more  I can give you two real life examples that exist in my home state.
First we come to a place named “Sun Aura”, which at one time was the premier family nudist resort in the Midwest U.S. After going through several name, and ownership changes, it went from the original Zorro Nudist Resort, to the infamous Naked City, now to Sun Aura. I don't have time, or room here to go into the history, but it was purchased by a fellow named  Dick Drost, now deceased, that was later convicted of child molestation ( this is a matter of public record). The downhill spiral was set in motion! To their credit, they do now describe  themselves as an adult only resort. You can visit their web site here, it isn't nudism people is called “Swinging”.
Next is the Ponderosa, which claims to be a family resort. Check the resort web site here, looks great huh? Now, check out their other web site here where they flaunt the once a year T&A contest they hold called Nudes-a-Poppin. Contestants are topless and nude dancers from strip clubs, and the judges are porn stars from X rated films! Ownership claims the income from this contest holds membership dues down. As a real nudist I would pay more to keep this filth from going on! Still want take your kids  there for a weekend?
While, the AANR works hard at trying to distance real social nudism from such shenanigans, sadly in the eyes of the general pubic, the perception of mixed gender, family social nudity suffers.
So it seems, sorry to say, nudism has been hi-jacked by the underbelly of society in both lives.
  

Kind words about Su Casa

I just read a review of Su Casa at Emmanuelle's 2ex Life blog written by Ella Keng and posted on Monday, 7 November.  In it she says that it appears as if we are investing time in the sim and in for the long term, which we are.  All of us have put in our time and effort and cash into developing Su Casa and we have no intention of leaving anytime soon.  Ella goes on to say that she believes we are a genuine naturist sim with naturist aspirations and values. In addition she says that Su Casa appears to be exceptionally friendly with a welcoming crowd.  I think we are! You can read it all here. Thank you, Ella, and we hope to see you at Su Casa more often.
